As my followers know, the food I thought I “couldn’t live without” was chicken. My father used to say I ate so much chicken that one day I would sprout feathers. When I gave up meat, I wasn’t sure how I was going to survive without chicken. Over the years, however, I have learned […]

Whenever we go out for a long drive or need to run errands we know we have to bring along some snacks because it’s hard to find healthy, vegan snacks out there. Even at the college where I teach, there is little to choose from. The vending machines are filled with chips, cookies and […]

There are two things I can never get enough of: puppies and food that is Buffalo-style. On February 2nd, I can indulge in both. While most of the country will be watching something called the Super Bowl, I’ll be settling with lots of red, messy, finger-licking deliciousness while watching the Puppy Bowl. Puppy Bowl […]

In my mind, animal rescuers are the most wonderful, admirable and compassionate people out there. They tirelessly spend their time, money and lives saving animals from death, helping them to heal, get food, shelter and medical care and then, hopefully, homes where they can forever live in peace and happiness. The love and empathy […]

Autumn is my favorite season. The rich jewel tones of autumn are my favorite colors and autumn leaves is my favorite pattern. It was even part of the theme of my wedding – autumn leaves and Westies. But autumn is over; I guess I have to come to terms with that. The 12 inches […]

Over the years I have developed about a dozen vegan burger recipes – partly because I love burgers and partly because there aren’t many prepared vegan burgers that I like enough to buy. To me, most of them don’t have a lot of flavor and the texture leaves a lot to be desired. And finding […]

Quotes

"Animals are not asked for their permission to take their own bodies' products, their freedom or their lives. We teach our children not to ever take something that doesn't belong to them without asking first. Such a simple rule filled with so much respect and acknowledgement of the other. That is Veganism."

Rhea Parsons

"Vegans can no longer be silent in this most important justice change...anymore than we could have (remained silent)...by just not owning slaves during Antebellum slavery and saying slavery was a choice. Some things are so wrong they can not be tolerated. Time is short and creating a vegan world has become crucial to saving it from possible destruction. It has become everybody's business what we eat."

Shirley Wilkes-Johnson

"Poor animals! How jealously they guard their pathetic bodies...that which to us is merely an evening's meal, but to them is life itself."

T. Casey Brennan

"Any food from animals is accompanied by the fear, brutality and disrespect that accompanied their lives and deaths"

Gabriel Cousens

"All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt?"

Buddha
